some items of interest

the way to find if a fish is fresh is to check its breath (smell it), check if the gills are red, and by the color of its scales.

squid are huge. like the size of small dobermans.

sara bought biscuit scented purfume

travelling with four people is amazing - but much different than travelling with only two people

Coconut beer tastes like sourdough bread

aged Coconut Sweets (coconut, sugar, ghee) tastes like blue cheese

wind swept ginger dryed with lime powder clouds streets with an intoxicating aroma and strange sense of nostalgia (for what, i don't know)

india's antique markets have a lot of wooden boxes, kind of like the end of raiders of the lost ark where theres that giant warehouse of boxes where they put the ark of the covenant - except theres more dust

the drinkable coconuts are overpriced here (12 rupees compared to 7)

action movies are whats imported to the theatres here for english movies, rambo 4 is not on our short list.

im still writing haikus - but i never have my book with me at internet.

Small papayas are just as delicious as large papayas.

how the hell do you batter fry bananas?

Indian ecliars are delicious

Butterscotch icecream tastes a lot more like cake batter ice cream.

A lot of these have to do with food. We have a strong bond.
